Globo will release \u2018Forbidden City\u2019 during the next MIPTV, held between April 9 and 12 in Cannes, France. Inspired by the film\u00a0noir<\/i>\u00a0style and the 1930s and 40s pulp literature, the series follows the adventures of a private eye who gets caught up in secrets, lies and betrayals in the lavishing Rio de Janeiro of the 1950s. In Brazil, the riveting plot kept Brazilians on the edge of their seats, reaching an average of 36 million viewers per episode. The production also made its international debut during a series showcase presented by Globo at the last Berlinale event, in Germany. \u2018Forbidden City\u2019 \u2013 a series by Mauro Wilson and Maur\u00edcio Farias, artistic direction by Maur\u00edcio Farias, and final writing by Mauro Wilson \u2013 is now part of the company\u2019s licensing catalog and promises to take the market by storm.<\/p>\n
<\/u><\/u>\u201cThe city was bustling with night clubs and bars; it was the height of the radio age, movie theaters were all the rage, football was starting to become Brazil\u2019s favorite pastime, and politics was on the center stage. What a scenario! But very little of the Rio de Janeiro of that time is found today, after so much modern interferences. Therefore, we were very meticulous when recreating the\u00a0city\u00a0exactly as it was back then. All departments \u2013 including set design, art, costumes, makeup, CGI, and photography \u2013 did a lot of research to accomplish this task\u201d, said artistic director Mauricio Farias.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
Betrayal, jealousy, secrets and revenge are some of the ingredients of the series, with the detective taking on new cases with each episode.<\/p>\n
